Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of managing a wireless communication database that is used to control wireless communication equipment, comprising: establishing a plurality of rules regarding a plurality of portions of the wireless communication database, wherein the rules govern content of the database and are configured to facilitate proper operation of the wireless communication equipment; automatically determining whether a proposed change to the wireless communication database will violate at least one of the plurality of rules; and automatically implementing the proposed change if none of the plurality of rules will be violated by the proposed change.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising determining at least one category of data within the database that will be affected by the proposed change; and determining whether the proposed change will violate any of the plurality of rules that applies to the determined at least one category of data.

3

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising automatically determining the at least one category directly from the proposed change; automatically determining whether there is at least one other category from a relationship between the at least one category of data in the at least one category and other categories of data in the database; and automatically determining whether the proposed change will violate any of the plurality of rules that applies to the at least one other category.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising providing an indication that the proposed change will violate at least one of the plurality of rules.

5

5. The method of claim 4 , comprising providing the notification by sending at least one of an email notification or a short message notification.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rules are established by at least one of a provider of the database, a provider of the wireless communication equipment or a service provider that provides wireless communication services that include operation of at least a portion of the wireless communication equipment.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , comprising allowing the proposed change to have a future scheduled time for implementation that is selectable by a user; and automatically implementing the proposed change at the scheduled time.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising tracking an identity of a user requesting the proposed change and a time at which the proposed change is implemented.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the proposed change is directed to a first portion of the database and the method comprises determining whether a corresponding change is desired for at least one related portion of the database; and automatically implementing the corresponding change for the at least one related portion of the database.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving an indication of a proposed change with at least some indication of a possible portion of the database to which the proposed change applies; automatically determining at least one portion of the database based on the indication; and at least one of automatically applying the proposed change to the at least one portion, or automatically providing an indication of the at least one portion.

11

11. A computer readable storage medium containing computer-executable instructions useful for managing a wireless communication database that is used to control wireless communication equipment, comprising: instructions for establishing a plurality of rules regarding a plurality of portions of the wireless communication database, wherein the rules govern content of the database and are configured to facilitate proper operation of the wireless communication equipment; instructions for automatically determining whether a proposed change to the wireless communication database will violate at least one of the plurality of rules; and instructions for automatically implementing the proposed change if none of the plurality of rules will be violated by the proposed change.

12

12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , comprising instructions for determining at least one category of data within the database that will be affected by the proposed change; and instructions for determining whether the proposed change will violate any of the plurality of rules that applies to the determined at least one category of data.

13

13. The computer readable storage medium of claim 12 , comprising instructions for automatically determining the at least one category directly from the proposed change; instructions for automatically determining whether there is at least one other category from a relationship between the at least one category of data in the at least one category and other categories of data in the database; and instructions for automatically determining whether the proposed change will violate any of the plurality of rules that applies to the at least one other category.

14

14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , comprising instructions for providing an indication that the proposed change will violate at least one of the plurality of rules.

15

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , comprising instructions for providing the notification by sending at least one of an email notification or a short message notification.

16

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of rules are established by at least one of a provider of the database, a provider of the wireless communication equipment or a service provider that provides wireless communication services that include operation of at least a portion of the wireless communication equipment.

17

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , comprising instructions for allowing the proposed change to have a future scheduled time for implementation that is selectable by a user; and instructions for automatically implementing the proposed change at the schedule time.

18

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , comprising instructions for tracking an identity of a user requesting the proposed change and a time at which the proposed change is implemented.

19

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the proposed change is directed to a first portion of the database and comprising instructions for determining whether a corresponding change is desired for at least one related portion of the data base; and instructions for automatically implementing the corresponding change for the at least one related portion of the database.

20

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , comprising instructions for receiving an indication of a proposed change with at least some indication of a possible portion of the database to which the proposed change applies; instructions for automatically determining at least one portion of the database based on the indication; and at least one of instructions for automatically applying the proposed change to the at least one portion, or instructions for automatically providing an indication of the at least one portion.
